pain won't kill me
I can function pretty well on very little sleep
to prioritize my activities according to what's most important to me
I have an unlimited supply of tears
I am wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy stronger than I thought I was
I can go from a deep sleep to fully awake in less than 2 seconds when Jack calls at 4am
it costs me approximately $8 in gas to get to work and back, but for 42 cents I can mail a letter halfway around the world
the glue on the flap of an envelope tastes really gross
there are a bazillion ways to say "I love you"
prayer works - God listens
there are some awesome women on this planet and I am glad to call them my friends (Theresa, Penny, Stacey, Joyce, Arlene, Linda, Beth, Jignasa)
there are some incredibly strong military wives who were perfect strangers less than a month ago (Christan and Chantel) who are now a source of great strength and inspiration to me
I simply adore Jack's ex's (Barbie & Kelly)
Jack's mother is an amazing woman (Dottie), and I cherish every moment we spend together, whether it's talking about our day or saying our evening prayers
Jack's sisters are heroes (Tina & Gina)
the man who loves me is incredibly brave and unselfish
I am going to love being part of the Hignite Family (again)
the group of children I love the most has doubled (Joel, Sammy, Rachel, Mikey, Alexis, John, Meg, Mariah, Olivia)
just because you're someone else's child doesn't mean I can't love you like my own (Kevin, Jessica, Stephanie, Jason)
my mother (Pam) and my sister (Rachel) are amazing women, and I can't even begin to think who I would be today without them
I am blessed
This is by no means a complete list of the things I have learned in the past month. But it's a good start.
What have you learned in the past month?
